A perp walk for Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey is scheduled for a "perp walk" Monday to a Massachusetts courthouse as he's arraigned on a felony charge of indecent assault and battery. A motion filed by the 59-year-old actor's attorneys to excuse his appearance was denied. The arraignment could last only minutes, but it will be the first time Spacey has been seen in public in more than a year, not counting the baffling YouTube video he posted after the sex charge became public. He's accused of groping a then-18-year-old son of a Boston TV anchorwoman in July 2016. More than a dozen men — including five who said they were teens at the time — have alleged that Spacey sexually harassed, assaulted or attempted to rape them.

Trade war talks: US officials due in Beijing

American officials are due in Beijing Monday for talks aimed at easing a trade battle that's caused both nations' economies to suffer. President Donald Trump expressed optimism about trade negotiations over the weekend, claiming "tariffs have absolutely hurt China very badly.” After several tit-for-tat tariff increases, leaders agreed Dec. 1 to postpone further hikes, and both governments face pressure to reach a settlement. Chinese economic growth fell to 6.5 percent in the quarter ending in September. Third-quarter U.S. growth was 3.4 percent and unemployment is at a five-decade low.
